What should a holder of a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit do if their permit is lost or destroyed?

  1. Report to the police within 48 hours

  2. Apply for a new permit

  3. Notify the issuing Circuit Court immediately

  4. Nothing until the renewal date

The correct answer is: Notify the issuing Circuit Court immediately

A holder of a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit should notify the issuing Circuit Court immediately if their permit is lost or destroyed. This is because the issuing Circuit Court needs to be aware of any changes or issues with the permit. Reporting to the police within 48 hours may not be necessary unless the permit was stolen or the owner believes it was used in a crime. Applying for a new permit is not necessary as the permit can be replaced by notifying the issuing Circuit Court. Doing nothing until the renewal date is not advised as the holder may be unable to legally carry a concealed handgun without a valid permit.
